Using Grants ear-marked for Vegas victims of violence to support scholarships, as well as Capital Campaigns- such as a new STEM extension building. Obtaining these Grants by falsifying statements upon Grant Applications about educators after the organization forces them to separate for no reason but only to accommodate replacements meeting "diversity" criteria. There is a statewide scheme being facilitated here

I have had students attend private schools in multiple states for over 35 years, so I am well versed on how they normally operate. I considered Meadows after having researched all private high schools in Las Vegas and was impressed with the reviews for scholastic achievements. Too bad these qualities are not imparted on staff that are responsible for reviewing applications for admission. Keep in mind that since Meadows is private, they have had staff on campus since students are attending in person classes. The pandemic excuse has run its course with most businesses by now. I submitted an application

This is a very disorganized school very antiquated not flexible it's unfortunate beautiful campus but that is all it has going for it the teachers are NOT flexible Gregerson the head of school isn't flexible. It's just a horrible place for a child to be, it's archaic and the textbooks are so outdated and old! Horrible Horrible school! NOT a happy place, teachers don't seem they are mean and rude! No one in the school seems happy a nightmare for any child. Kids need to be in a happy environment with up to date technology and educational resources. This school is beyond

Superb teachers with few exceptions. High standards and a great work ethic. Kids graduate from The Meadows and are college-ready in every sense of the term. Highly recommend if your kid can pass the tests to get in.
